I have a short moment before bed. My website is now home to three flash applications ... and a forum! I thought it would be a big challenge to get a forum up and running on my website ... but no! Super-easy. It's hidden at present, but it's there and live and accessible from the web. I'll link to it from my website proper as soon as I think it's ready for the general public.

Work on my RPG combat engine proceeds smoothly. It still doesn't look like much, but there's a lot of features I'll be unlocking over the next month or so - a larger party of heroes, more diverse enemies, magic attacks, multiple targeting, enhanced AI with counterattacks, buffs and debuffs, and more! I can't wait. ^^

Between the progress on my RPG combat engine and my website, I've been feeling really accomplished and empowered lately. I finally have all the tools I need to implement my community-minded game development model, minus a PayPal link perhaps. There's nothing holding me back but me at this point. As long as I continue to put the time in, I will accomplish great things. It's very exciting!
